I traveled through Jo-Burg 3 weeks ago and transferred from Emirates to S.A. Express for my last flight to Bulawayo. I went to get my guns and they asked for my paperwork. They wanted a Saps Form. I told them I did not spend the night in S.A.? They still wanted one. I had one already filled out(just in case)so I signed and dated it in front of them. I told my P.H. in Zim and he said I didn't need to since I did not overnight in S.A. On my return to Jo-Burg I asked them again and they said the same thing?

Were your rifles checked thru to your destination?

The rifles were checked to Jo-Burg.

Well, you’ve answered your own question. Your port of entry was South Africa, so you need a SAPS520. Period.....
If you had them tagged for Zim. And the transit connection less than 24 hrs, you most likely would
Not need any South African paperwork.

Gotta check them through to your final destination.

We were unable to because we used 3 Airlines to get there.
